Kejriwal setting ‘wrong precedent’: GK Vasan

Chennai: Union Minister GK Vasan on Tuesday described the ongoing protest by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the national capital to be a ‘publicity stunt’, and said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader is setting a ‘wrong precedent’.

"It is not a good sign for a Chief Minister. Instead of taking up his responsibility, indulging in these kinds of protests are only a 'publicity stunt’. The public will not benefit from it. It is setting a wrong precedent," he said.

Asked about the Tamil Nadu fishermen's issue, Vasan said that the January 27 talks here between representatives of fishermen's associations of the state and Sri Lanka would be successful.

"I hope an amicable solution will be taken in the meeting. We wish that the meeting is successful. I have already stated that it should not be politicized," he said.
